no, only USC can file for parents

[Phillip Kazuto 28]

He will have to wait till he becomes US Citizen before petitioning parents.

No, but if she has strong ties at home

she can get a tourist visa to visit him,

that requires nothing from him just her

to prove she will visit & return home

Incorrect information - He can file the paperwork once he has his green card, but the processing time for that preference category is lengthy. Once he gets his citizenship, it will be a briefer wait. However, he can file the paperwork as a green card holder, and get the process started. Then once he gets his citizenship, the preference category will change and the visa will be available sooner.

You are wrong. LPR can't petition for a parent, only a USC can.

Your link does not have anything to do with parents.

This is the correct link:

http://www.uscis.gov/family/family-us-citizens/parents/bringing-parents-live-united-states-permanent-residents

To petition for your parents (mother or father) to live in the United States as green card holders, you must be a U.S. citizen and at least 21 years old. Green card holders (permanent residents) may not petition to bring parents to live permanently in the United States.
